Charles University’s world-class research is the foundation for its high-quality education. It offers programs at bachelor, master and Ph.D. levels. Teaching and research go hand in hand, both in vision and work.

Even undergraduate courses are taught by prominent and distinguished researchers. These include Jaroslav Nešetril, Jirí Sgall and Jan Kratochvíl, to name a few. Students can look up these people at Microsoft Academic Search or Google Scholar. In the curriculum there is a strong emphasis on ideas and concepts that have stood the test of time and that will endure. At the same time, we provide opportunities to become acquainted with modern research and technologies.

Since 1992, the historic center of Prague has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. No wonder that Prague is an attractive tourist destination – more than five million tourists visited it in 2011. Its beauty, location and characteristic elements have earned the city many nicknames: the Golden City, the heart of Europe, the City of a Hundred Spires, the Pearl of Cities.
